Hi Everyone,

The raffle prize was a handmade quilt, featuring appliqued and embroidered
teapots. It was won by Jasna Dolic of Noble Park, who purchased her ticket at
the Mulgrave Makers Market; congratulations to Jasna; we hope you enjoy it. A
big thank you to the ladies who donated materials, and their time and expertise,
in crafting the quilt; Veronique, Peta, Shirley, Maxine, Sally.

Orchards Cafe, in Hopetoun Rd, Park Orchards, continues to display and sell
the tea cosies for the fundraiser. Thanks to Cheryl and Soren. They seem to
manage to sell a couple of cosies every week; at that rate, they’ll all be sold
before next year’s event.

I’ve booked the dates for the tea cosy display for next year, to be held at
the Warratina Lavender Farm again. It will run for 2 weeks, the second week of
the July school holidays, and the first week of school term. That will be from
4th to 19th July, 2015. I hope to see you all there again next year.

As previously mentioned, next year, we’ll include a section for small soft
toys; no bigger than a teapot!

During the display in July, a lot of overseas tourists came through,
predominantly from Asia. They checked out the tea cosies with interest, but tea
cosies are not big in Asia as far as I know. We might be able to sell soft toys
to them more easily. But that’s not the only reason; a lot of people indicated
interest in expanding the competition to include more crafts...so why
not??!!!

About Me

I started fundraising for the Cancer Council after my daughter died from breast cancer in 2009, aged 35 years. Most of us these days have been touched by cancer; finding a cure is what we need.
I've always loved knitting and sewing and crochet; so to 'craft a cure' for cancer is the way to go! Please help our fundraising effort by making a tea cosy for the competition, and send it to PO Box 109, East Ringwood, Vic, 3135
